Senate Assembly bin No. 20, by
Lyons, providing for the removal 0t
the county seat OF White Pine from
Hamilton to Ely. Briggs, of White
Pine, said that when the county of
White Pine was irst organized 1t was
in the midst OF great mining excite
ment which carried thousands there.
Hamilton was the principal point, and
the county seat was naturally estao-
lished there. Since then mining had
declined and Hamilton had become
mparatively deserted. The town
was situated 1900 feet above sea level.

sno" lay for nine months IN the year,
and 1t was no longer the chief popu-
lous point. Ely Is situated in warm,
pleasant valley, go miles farther east
and was nearer, being the most popu
lous center, more naturally adapted
for county seat, lar easier of access
by railroad 10 Eureka, and possessed
many other important advantages

A MEDICAL DEPARTMENT,
Am IustIlutIon that the GAIN. snrelr Neea..

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In December
1856, was duly elected Surgeon of FORSYTH
Post, No. ID, Department of Ohio and installed
in January, 1887; but judge of my surprise
when / looked about this Department aud
found neither cases, records nor supplies |
then asked myself what was elected for? Has
this large Post none sick2 If So then FORSYTH
needs no Surgeon. But on looking over the
field that we occupy found plenty of work
and worthy comrades who needed assistance
Bringing this matter before our Post. il at once
gave me authority to go on with the work of
relief Accordingly a record book was pro-
cured, supplies were granted, and the work
was made complete. Reports are made regu-
larry; accounts are kept with care aud exact
ness. Never having received AN order from
the Medical Director OF our State, concluded
that III might sleep OH. So this Post is run in
dependently, for the interest of the comrades.
Wishing 10 ascertain if / had any superior ofii-
Ger In the Grand Army, that | could find ont
what my duties were, wrote TO our Surgeon
1enerdl, at Denver, for instructions rs TO my
duties IN regard to records, reports supplies
etc. His courteous reply was this: This office
is one OF honor and glory. Notwithstanding
my earnest protest, IL became So years ago and
remains So" | do hope at the National En-
campment at 81 Louis that this highest official
of this Department will lay before the G. AR
plan TO bring hack into full force this the
SiahutSt NoIA oA me OIuSr, with all Its Tamif-
cations, complet> and replete; so that when
the lawmakers at Washington, in framing a
pension bill, ask our Pension Board for evil
denee to sustain them in such an act. il will
only be necessary for the Commander in Chief
TO ask of the Surgeon General a complete re-
port OF the worthy sick-the wrecks OF the re-
bellion. This report would give such an over
whelming and appalling array Of evidence of
deStitution, disease and want as would more
than satisfy any code Of politics We do like
TO see and hear OF the many gatherings, Ma
tonal, and State and County and Township,
with all this hilarity and all these speeches
and Qualification, to which we are certainly en-
Titled; but beyond all this there comes to every
member of the GAR this reminder: "The
poor We have always with ye" And our re-
quirement is TO care for them when sick. Ii
cannot be done with speeches aud resolutions.
III can be done with an efficient Medical De-
partment. And now appeal to the comrades
OF the GAR, through their delegates TO the
National Encampment, to speak out, in Ian
gnage that cannot be misunderstood, that a
thorough Medical Department is the chief cor
nerstone of our wants and woes. and in perfect
accord with the pledges and promises of the

Valuation of city Property.

Assessor and Collector House has
now reached S1O,0OO,0OO valuation of
city property, and it ia his opinion
that it will finally reach sl2,000,OOO by
the time the balance OF the property
is reached, examined and passed upon.
The Boa.d of Appeals which is to
meet next Monday will probably raise
the figures in many instances still
higher. II is a fact that the higher
the assessment the lower will be the
levy, and it is Mr.. Houses belief that
the levy next year will not exceed one
per cent, aud it is a fact to all parties
that the assessment of city property
has been ridiculously low, and the in
crease is decidedly low now. For
years property has been turned in at
the same old figures regardless OF the
advance of property and improvements
and the raise in valuation which Is
going on is not unjust but right and
proler. There is nothing that attracts
outside capitol TO investment so much
as low rate Of taxation and the city
will materially improve in this respect
if the rate of taxation can be reduced
to one per cent. Property worth $780,
900 Lad been Carried on the books for
years at 15C0 valuation and Mr..
House raised the valuation to $4,000 at
one Jump. Property assessed at 5000,
are raised to $500, property valued at
$1,000 raised to $1,000 and so on TO the
end of the chapter.
